What music have you listened to lately?

[mvd]

Raveonettes - In And Out Of Control (I'll have to get this! I heard it at a full album listening party. It's their best yet! "Bang!" is one of the very best songs this year.)

Also heard Paramore - Brand New Eyes and Miranda Lambert - Revolution at full album listening parties, and also highly recommend!

My disappointment was with the new Nerina Pallot songs. Change can be good, but not when you completely change what was good about you.

1. I recently discovered the Collins Kids.

I think they are the most talented kid band ever. At least they beat the heck out of Old Skull.

2. Larry and Lorrie were incredible weren't they

There's a "related video" ( a couple of em) on at least the Stagger Lee and Hoy Hoy Hoy you tube videos that's titled "documentary about Larry and Lorrie" that is taken from a PBS documentary called Women of Rockabilly from a few years ago. It starts out with Charlene Arthur, but mainly is split into four sections; Wanda Jackson, Janis Martin, Lorrie (and of course Larry) Collins ( was he a bad ass on the guitar or what?... and just really a little kid too) and Brenda Lee. I suspect that it still may be broadcast on occasion during PBS's fund drives.... If you're interested, you maybe could get information about it from your local PBS station. I haven't checked; but I suppose it's also possible that by typing in those names on you tube, you might be able to piece together the whole program (???).........your musically obsessed, too much time on his hands DU buddy, abq e streeter

17. Hey abq!

Yeah those Collins Kids just put a big ol grin on my face every time I hear 'em. I saw the Collins Kids story on youtube but not the parts about the other artists.

I have read that a girl named Jo Anne Campbell was a great rockabilly chick but the only songs I've heard of hers are kinda lame bubblegum stuff. Do you know what songs of Ms Campbell's I should look for? I do like Wanda, but not as much as Lorrie and Larry. I should correct something I wrote earlier: The Collins Kids were fantastic, period. (not just fantastic for their age) When I listen to their cd or watch 'em on youtube I am on cloud 9. Hoy Hoy Hoy!

I will look around for the Women of Rocabilly doc. Have a good one abq, hope to talk to you soon.

[abq e streeter]

23. I actually had never heard of Jo Ann Campbell, but just checked a few songs out

on you tube. Some were definitely very bubblegummy, but you can imagine how much artistic control she had over what she did ( pretty much none I'm sure), but I like her voice. That "answer" song to Wolverton Mountain is pretty corny, but so much so that I like it. There's one called Tall Boy that's pretty much rockabilly with a great honkin sax solo, but yeah, most of the others I listened to were obviously the record company wanting her to be a teen pop singer. I like her version of Teenage Idol, although no one will ever outdo Ricky Nelson's original of it........ Back then , if you think about it, the producers put corny pop arrangements on lots of cool stuff, including Elvis and Buddy Holly. It's just what they thought sounded commercial I guess. But thanks for turning me on to her; I literally had never heard of her somehow.

[Jetboy]

25. I recently read a book about rockabilly by Billy Poore.

Billy was right on about great rockabilly and heaped a ton of praise on Jo Ann. According to Jo Ann, you are right on about the record company wanting her to record the bubblegum stuff. She even said how she never played those songs live and only played her rockabilly favorites. I've never seen one of her records so I might have to track down a cd or something to find the good stuff she did.

I still have not heard Ricky Nelson's Teenage Idol but boy was I wrong about him. The man was a rocker! As a fan, I sure wish Lorrie Collins would've stayed with Ricky instead of eloping with a much older man and effectively ending the Collins Kids. They had magic and then it was gone. If you want to see a sad clip, check out Larry Collins Sweet Chile on youtube. Joe Maphis introduces Larry for the first time without his sister and you can just tell that all of 'em are kind of bummed out.

A Duer posted that his/her daughter (Hana) had released her first cd, on the day it was released. They posted a link to her MySpace page and while I wasn't expecting much I found I really liked her. Ordered her cd, and 2 EPs. Got them in the mail early this week.

Fellow DUer xenussister and friend of Happy has created a Happy Rhodes music channel on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/user/happyrhodesalbums

[bigwillq]

16. Love, love, love Lady GaGa's album

I love her. :bounce:

[blue_onyx]

32. I like it too

She's re-releasing it on Nov. 24 with new songs. The next single is called "Bad Romance."

[Forkboy]

19. Nile, Shrinebuilder, Shining, Hiems, Merrimack, Absu, Om, Cows, Monolith Deathcult

and, as always, Deathspell Omega.

:hi:

[spiritual_gunfighter]

24. The new Om is great

I have been listening to The Hidden Hand and their great song "The Deprogramming Of Tom Delay" on repeat.

[Forkboy]

27. The new Om is very refreshing.

I was a little bored with them on their last CD. It was good, but all their stuff was exactly the same, song after song. Now with Emil Amos from the Grails in the band replacing Chris Hakius their music has taken on a new direction without losing that Om sound (if you haven't heard the Grails yet do yourself a favor and check them out). I think he's been the shot in the arm that Om needed.

I don't know if you brought up The Hidden Hand by accident or if you already know this, but Wino is in Shrinebuilder, which is him, Dale Crover from the Melvins, Scott Kelly of Neurosis, and Al Cisneros from Om. It mixes all the guys styles into one, without sounding derivative of any of them. It's a pretty cool CD.

Here's a Grails tune...

21. Regina Spektor

:loveya:

[Generic Brad]

22. The Noisettes

I heard this rocking song in the background of a Dick's Sporting Goods commercial where this woman is singing "Don't Give Up" while a guy is being chased by a wild boar, wolves, and a bear. Then I searched iTunes for songs titled "Don't Give Up" and started searching YouTube for performances and videos. My third attempt hit the jackpot.

Then I followed up and on Pandora by programming in a Noisettes channel. Wow. Simply, wow. Think Amy Winehouse, except with a larger range.

[tigereye]

37. I have that= very interesting CD - not your typical fare

how weird to hear it in commercials, though. That's pretty strange.

[Arugula Latte]

38. "Never Forget You" seems to be getting the most play:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJnJeQEKIto

[SoxFan]

26. Mark Knoepfler & Emmylou Harris

Joy Division
Lyle Lovett

[tonekat]

28. That version of Sgt Pepper that isolates the tracks

I'm probably late to the party, but that is so cool to hear the individual instruments and voices from the "bounce" 4 track.

Also Roger Waters doing Another Brick in The Wall Pt. II, and the version in Berlin w/Cindi Lauper singing it.

And whatever's on Pirate Cat Radio.com

[edbermac]

30. Remastered White Album by the Beatles.

:headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

[velvet]

31. right now: The Cat Empire

"So Many Nights". They have a sweetness.

Lately ...
Lucinda Williams - "Little Honey". She has a growl.

Sam Cooke - "Hits". Good compilation but sadly missing "You Send Me" and "Change Gonna Come".

Dirty Three - "Whatever You Love, You Are". They have passion, they go exploring, they like a long, slow build. But they're better live.

[JCMach1]

33. I discovered Jim White about 9 months back

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOJXbrmMN48

Just freaking awesome...

[Rob H.]

34. I just got Steve Martin's "The Crow" a couple of days ago

and am really enjoying it. I knew he played banjo but had no idea how truly talented he is wrt his playing. It actually makes me wish I knew how to play, too.

[tigereye]

36. lots of Richard Thompson, some Springsteen

I really like the Raveonettes- they love the reverb doncha know... :D
